How to Make Apple Squares Babcia's Apple Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Peel, core, and slice the apples. Gently toss them with the cinnamon and nutmeg.
  6. Fold the apples into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the Apple Squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to set and enhances the flavors.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
